Further investigation unveiled that Shakirudeen’s qualifications were limited to a Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) from Majidun Grammar School, contradicting the elaborate facade he had constructed around his medical expertise.
In his own words, Shakirudeen expressed remorse for his actions, urging others engaged in similar deceitful practices to desist from endangering the lives of unsuspecting patients.
The arrest of the fake doctor serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by individuals exploiting vulnerabilities within the healthcare system for personal gain. The Lagos State Police Command deserves commendation for their swift action in apprehending Shakirudeen and preventing further harm to innocent citizens.
